I agree..Blender is definitely more than a headache.

If it makes you feel any better, it took me almost a year to get a grip on Poser. That may scare you, tho I hope it won't ;). It was just so different from anything I'd used up to that point.

As to Poser's file system, I feel that it's actually logically sound. Props go in the props folder, figures and clothes (which are also figures) go in the figures folder, poses in Pose, etc. It's the things you install later that tend to muck up your runtime ;). But as the basic file system goes, it makes sense.

If you have a specific question go ahead and ask and someone will be along to help you. We were all newbies once :). Just make sure you preface every question with what version of Poser you use since we still have ppl that use even Poser 5 in here :).

And one more thing you should know about Daz figures: if you're asked if you want to initialize the figure upon installing DO it. It will save you frustration later ;). Daz installers are also VERY confusing for a Poser user, so if you have a question please ASK. A lot of the newer Daz installers want to install to DS by default, which is a completely different program. And because where Poser is installed and where the files that you use in Poser actually reside are in two different places (if you're on Windows Vista or 7 and have UAC enabled), the confusion is deepend.
